I have no idea, but I’m guessing it was a Vietnam vet, somebody like Garry Maddox. I don't know who the last is either, but I know Al Bumbry lost two years of minor league baseball after being drafted into the service. He had been drafted by the Orioles out of college, then the next year by Uncle Sam. He was one of the few to actually serve in Vietnam as well. He went back to the minors in 71 when he got out of the service and was AL rookie of the year in '73. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Video comes out of Trevor Bauer's victim laying in bed with a sleeping Bauer and smiling, hours after she claims she was sexually assaulted by him. She claimed she was trying to get away from him and that she was terrified. Very interesting. If she's lying about this, she should go to jail - she ruined his life. I don't even like Trevor Bauer.

Agree. The guy can be a douche, but no one deserves this treatment if innocent. Unfortunately, he’s not been given the benefit of the doubt, perhaps due to his brashness.

Maybe there is a lot more to this, but I used to be believe her and now I believe him. He can't get those two years back, he'll never be 29 or 30 again. I hate feeling like this, I want to not go after the accuser, but I think of the Duke Lacrosse incident (those young men were ruined and their coach lost his job) or the Rolling Stone "Rape on Campus" story where a young lady who worked for UVA named Nicole Eramo had her life turned upside down based on a lie.

I don't have an opinion on whether he is innocent ot not, because there is not enough information. However, I don't think such a video, if it exists, means a lot. We don't know when the video was taken. It could have been taken during an earlier meeting where she enjoyed herself. Or it could have been taken early in the final meeting before he started doing things she hadn't agreed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Bauer is so toxic here, he might end up in Asia. He definitely is a ball rat, so if at all possible, he’s gonna play somewhere anywhere. Edited December 24, 2022 by chasfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a jerk, but if he contributes to winning games he'd be tolerable. I don't deal with him personally. All I have to do is watch him pitch and look at his stats.
